actually, with the economy the way it is, alot of young single girls are purposely getting pregnant to ensure they will still get a check even if they can't find jobs. at least, i know of this happening in california. thanks, welfare.

wow. someone needs to explain to them that welfare checks aren't very much money especially when you are splitting it with a baby. It's so not worth it!!
Why don't they just start acting crazy and get a disability check.

I think quite a few young girls think it will be like playing house with a real life doll. They think the baby will love them, which if they do their job right they will. But the baby is not there to make them feel special, it's the other way around.

These girls are tripping on stupidity and living in some fantasy world. Unfortunately, by the time they realize this, it will be too late. Babies are non-refundable. Kiss your childhoods goodbye girls, and say hello to responsibility and chronic fatigue.

I am not surprised at all. I think its silly to have made a pregnancy pact. they are in for a rude awakening.

That being said: I went to a high school and many girls in each grade were pregnant or had a baby. These girls get a lot of attention. Its also kind of like, you are living the adult life already, you're starting a family. Plus you have the babies dad....its just like you get a lot of attention, almost like you are the hot topic in school. A lot of people like that. To be honest, when I got pregnant I was 17 and had just became a senior in HS. I didnt know what to do but a part of me did feel like I would have gotten a lot of attention and would have been the talk of my school. But I only told a handful of people and I decided not to keep my baby. It was the right choice for me because I was soooo young. I can't imagine being able to finish high school with a baby being born, and taking my State Boards exam with a baby....I just wouldnt have been able to do it. Things are NOT glamorous...but teens dont care because they want to live that life. Nobody realizes how hard it will be.

It was the right choice for me. I am glad I'm not a teen mom. After that mistake I made, I am trying to be more careful and I dont really want kids for at least another 5 or 6 years. I want to live my life as a young woman, plus I am trying to stop being so selfish...I can be selfish at times and that doesnt work out when you are a mom.
